Let me introduce you to the newest member of my Breitling family, the Breitling Superocean II Abyss Silver 42mm. Not long ago I parted with a Superocean and the family felt a void. So when I saw a buddy selling…I pounced. I love the size; 42mm is a great size for both casual and dress. Breitling’s 44mm’s which I also love, but they don’t usually go under a long sleeve very well. I like the Silver inner ring due to being more universal and less trendy but the blue & yellow I would not turn down! The rubber insert on the bezel is cool and the lume is great especially for a Breitling. What’s a little unique about this Abyss is the bracelet has been slightly brushed instead of the high polished look it came with. This little touch I really like and might not be your cup of tea but now you’ve something to compare. Overall I give the newest Breitling family member…two thumbs up!! :lingsrock: :lingsrock:

I have that same watch, but like you I prefer the brushed finish. I gotta ask, how did you get the top of the lugs brushed? Is there a bracelet that will fit the SO Abyss 42 that is brushed, or did you have to have that done as well? If it's not much heartache and money, I would love to do that myself as well. Polished bracelets bug me, and is what's keeping me from getting one for this watch....Thank you, and great watch. It's a great look, and great pictures!

The previous owner had it done. I will contact him and get back to you with that info. Having it already done prompted me to move on this one! :lingsrock:

Thank you! That would be awesome, I appreciate it! It looks so much better that way in my opinion.
